I am sure sure you will enjoy your stay in this warm and peaceful new country with friendly people and a wide variety of facilities and entertainment.

Juba is the fastest growing city in the world. The country is developing very rapidly with unlimited opportunities for investment and cooperation. There is an abundance of natural resources, jungles, both white and blue river Nile, minerals and oil, an un-spoilt paradise. South Sudan boasts the second largest wildlife migration in the world. The country held a referendum in January 2011, and almost 100 percent of the population voted for independence, thus the country became independent on July 9th, 2011. There was a lot of excitement and celebrations. This is a great time to visit and see the newest Nation in the world.

This is the only travel guide for the city.

Travel is my hobby, I made this free site for you to enjoy Juba as much as I do. I have visited all the Hotels, Restaurants, Clubs and other places included in this site, as well as many others. I have worked for four of the organizations listed here over the last ten or so years. There are lots more fun places in Juba but I only included those premium places I enjoyed. I welcome any constructive comments and I will add or amend any text (after confirming the accuracy) for free as long as I feel it will improve the site.Feel free to pay for a banner ad at the top of a page or sponsor the website.

As the city is growing rapidly the information on this web site is also dynamic. I am constantly amending the Guide during my spare time. I encourage comments, observations and suggestions for improvement. I have received sponsorship from a local foundation, thanks to the Deng Foundation for their support. Alvin, my nephew, came to visit, he wrote a journal of his arduous bus ride here, it is in the 'Jokes' Page

* From 1 December 2011 the Telephone Country code changed from +249 (Sudan) and +256 (Uganda) to +211 (South Sudan). Please note all telephone contacts in the country posted on the internet up to November 2011 are now not correct.

WET AND WILD BIKINI PARTY
Will be on Sunday afternoon 20 November at the new swimming pool at Rock City called ‘chez Solomon’. The place is now managed by Amul Behera formerly manager at Oasis Hotel. The event is hosted by a local radio DJ from Uganda. At the last party in October there were hundreds of beauties in bikinis while lots of guys were ogling the chicks while drinking beer and listening to loud music.

You did very well!
I wrote and edited a Bosnia and Herzegovina - travel guide and know therefore how much work the collection of information is. I don't know if I ever make it to South Sudan, but you did really well in presenting its capital very well.
Thanks!
Elisabeth.

Hello, I have arrived in Juba (for the second time), and wanted to write a guide for new arrivals to Juba... but after finding your website, I can't imagine what more needs to be said. Great job, thank you.

Dear TG,
Your web site is very interesting.
I would like to know since when did they move the Ethiopian Consulate from Hai Malakal to Tong Ping?
By the way, that area is called “Juba na Bari” not Tong Ping. The Dinka’s changed the name of ‘our’ land.
The Luo tribes in Sudan are: Schuluk, Anyuak, Lafon, Acholi and small groups, the Dinka’s do not belong to Luo speakers, they are good in twisting things around to their advantage. Some words in Nuer are same like Bari and some words in the Dinka language are same as Luo and that’s it. I am a Bari but my mom is a Luo so I know that the Luos are just laughing at claims of the Dinka’s....lol. I am sure you’re not responsible for these ‘lies’.
Best regards,
Kokora
